Provided are a method, carried out by a user equipment (UE), for transmitting priority information in a wireless communication system and a UE utilizing the method. The method is characterized by selecting a priority for data to be transmitted by means of a device-to-device (D2D) action, associating the value for the selected priority with the data, and transmitting the data and value for the selected priority.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), for transmitting priority information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting, to a network, a group list informing UE groups that the UE is interested in performing a device-to-device (D2D) operation, wherein the group list includes priority information informing a group priority of each group included in the group list; selecting a data priority for data to be transmitted by means of the D2D operation; associating a value for the selected data priority with the data; and transmitting, to a group having a highest group priority in the UE groups, the data and the value for the selected data priority, wherein, when a group priority of any one group included in the group list is changed due to a predetermined cause, the UE transmits, to the network, a value for the changed group priority of the any one group and 1-bit information informing the any one group has a highest group priority.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data and the value for the selected data priority are transmitted to other terminal by the D2D operation.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value for the selected data priority is transmitted to the network.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data priority is selected as a packet data unit.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value for the data priority is selected among a plurality of values.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the data priority for the data is changed, a value for the changed data priority is transmitted to the network.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the any one group comprises UEs related to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the group priority of the any one group is changed.
8. A user equipment (UE) comprising: a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and a processor coupled to the RF unit, wherein the processor transmits, to a network, a group list informing UE groups that the UE is interested in performing a device-to-device (D2D) operation, wherein the group list includes priority information informing a group priority of each group included in the group list, selects a data priority for data to be transmitted by means of the D2D operation, associates a value for the selected data priority with the data, and transmits, to a group having a highest group priority in the UE groups, the data and the value for the selected data priority, wherein, when a group priority of any one group included in the group list is changed due to a predetermined cause, the UE transmits, to the network, a value for the changed group priority of the any one group and 1-bit information informing the any one group has a highest group priority.
9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the data and the value for the selected data priority are transmitted to other UE by the D2D operation.
10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the value for the selected data priority is transmitted to the network.
11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the data priority is selected as a packet data unit.
12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the value for the data priority is selected among a plurality of values.
13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein, when the data priority for the data is changed, a value for the changed data priority is transmitted to the network.
14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein, when the any one group comprises UEs related to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the group priority of the any one group is changed.
